I Have a Safari Park

The breeder said: "During courtship, male penguins attract females both visually and audibly.

The first is to wiggle his head and toss his head from side to side. This is not only announcing the ownership of the territory to other males, but also attracting passing girls.

Female penguins seem to have signs of heartbeat, and they will take advantage of the victory, make loud donkeys, and sing a romantic love song.

If the female penguin agrees to courtship, the two penguins will bend over together, just like we human husband and wife bow to each other, thus confirming the partnership. "

"It's so fun!"

Liu Wei felt different when he heard these penguins make donkey calls again!

Originally thought it was noisy and noisy, but now it sounds a bit romantic.

It's a life-long event that is related to oneself, can this be called hard work?

The penguins also made no secret of their feelings for themselves. As soon as a penguin's cry fell, another donkey barked loudly, for fear that their cry would be too low, and the girl would take a fancy to others.

Then a group of penguins all barked together, and the sound merged into a sea of ​​donkey barking, which was very lively.

Because of their noisy cries, the entire exhibition area seems to be alive and full of life.

The way the penguin walks is funny and funny, swaying and taking small steps, and jumping with both feet when encountering steps.

Wings drooping down his sides, he looked like he was walking around the living room in a large-sleeved nightgown and slippers.

Amamiya thought: "We have a zoo in Hokkaido and there will be a penguin parade. The penguins walk in a row in the snow. It's fun."

Liu Wei said: "Sometimes the red pandas here will come out for a walk, take a walk, and they are also very cute!"

Some tourists heard their discussion and immediately asked the breeder expectantly: "By the way, do we penguins have a parade?"

The breeder explained: "Well, there is a plan for this! But the weather is still relatively hot. If you go on the road outside, the hot ground may burn your feet, so it is not suitable to go out for a walk.

You see, in our pavilion, ice cubes are placed for them, and there is a water mist device. Water is poured on the stones to cool down.

Including the design of the exhibition area, there is a slide, which allows the penguins to slide into the water, because the weather is hot and they are not taken out.

When the temperature cools down in the fall, you might be able to see them out for a walk. "

Yu Gongxin said in surprise: "Wow, it's really attentive!"

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Indeed! I thought the breeder's job was to shovel shit and feed food. After a few laps in the zoo, I realized that this is actually a very particular thing, and it doesn't mean that it can be done easily."

A penguin came to the edge of the wide stone, with the soles of its feet on the edge, the body leaned forward slightly, and adjusted its posture.

Then he opened his wings, lowered his head forward, and fell naturally from the stone, plunged into the water, and splashed a splash of water.

It looks a bit clumsy on the shore, but as soon as you enter the water, your swimming posture becomes agile and graceful!

The soles of the feet are placed behind him, like the tail of a fish, and the thin wings are stretched back and slide forward a few meters.

With a tapered head, smooth skin, a streamlined body, and almost no resistance when swimming, it looks like a small plane in the water.

Gently flap its wings and swim leisurely in the water.

Sometimes they stagger with their companions, sometimes they surface, and some swim sideways, revealing their white belly to tourists.

Someone asked curiously, "Are penguins a bird?"

The tourists suddenly started talking: "Birds?"

Amamiya thought for a while and said, "It should be a bird, right? But it looks like a fish when it swims."

Liu Wei said: "Fish is too outrageous, it should be regarded as a beast!"

The breeder waited for the tourists to discuss it and said with a smile: "Penguins have beaks, wings, feathers on their bodies, and they breed by hatching eggs, so of course they are birds!"

Everyone was surprised: "Huh?"

"Does it have feathers, isn't this body made of leather?"

The breeder said: "Although the penguin's body looks smooth, it actually has feathers! It's just that to facilitate swimming, the feathers are very obedient to the body.

I have penguin feathers on my body, which I picked up when I was cleaning, so you can take a look. "

Lifting the feathers, everyone looked up and saw that the white feathers were small and fluffy.

"Everyone, take a look at the edge of the pool and look carefully! You will definitely find it.

And when they come ashore, pay attention to the penguin, which is turning its head to groom its feathers.

The way the penguin walks is rather peculiar. Its leg posture is like our human squatting stance. It is wrapped in fat, giving people the feeling of being short and unable to fly. It does not look like a bird, which is easy for everyone to have Misunderstand. "

At this time, a breeder wearing rain boots came out from the rear, holding an iron bucket.

"It's dinner, it's dinner!"

Take some fish out of the iron bucket and throw them into the water.

The penguins suddenly boiled!

The penguin in the water, who was swimming leisurely just now, sprinted very fast at this time!

Predicting the location of the fish in advance, as soon as the fish touched the water, a penguin's head stuck out, and he swallowed it.

The penguins on the shore, like dumplings, can't wait to jump into the water, causing white waves.

The water surface was turbulent for a while, and the water splashed against the big rock on which the penguin had just stood, as if the waves were hitting the cliff.

Some penguins, fighting for fish, pecked each other with their mouths, tangled up and down in the water, and separated after a while.

The tourists exclaimed.

"Wow, you swim so fast!"

"Look, those two are fighting!"

Spot-billed penguins are lively and active, and fights are common.

Especially when it's time for dinner, there will definitely be a fight.

The breeders outside were watching carefully in front of the glass curtain wall, and took out a notebook to record what!

After a while, the penguins eat the fish and continue to swim leisurely in the water, or return to the shore to sing love songs and rest on the edge of the ice.

The breeder put away the books and explained, "Because I had to count how many fish they ate just now, I didn't care to talk to everyone, otherwise I would be distracted when I talk."

"Wow, how do you identify so many penguins? Can you count them?"

"The colored ring at the root of the penguin's wings is called the wing band! This is their business card. Generally, males wear them on the right side and females wear them on the left side, and there are different color combinations. This is what distinguishes them. It is also our job to record the diet.

The food for penguins is mainly fresh small yellow croaker. Every day, we have to select the fish first, the color is golden, and the more elastic fish will be fed. The fish with dark color and no elasticity may lose more nutrients, so this kind of fish will not be fed.

It is also necessary to deal with it. Remove the gills and intestines of the fish. When removing, the body of the fish must not be broken. It must be a complete one, otherwise the penguin may eat it and damage the esophagus. "
